The total amount of the sale was $60,545.

and shrubs clothed with their autumn dress of brilliant gold. Far 
down the road, which is seamed with deep ruts and strewn with 


fallen leaves, a market cart is dimly seen approaching. Over all 
radiates the splendor of autumn, a revel of color to delight the eye.

AGAINST the green wall of the forest rises a giant beech-tree, hoary 
with age, spreading its branches in all directions. ‘The trunk, thickly 
tufted with moss and lichens, has long defied the season’s storms. It 
is a study that could have come from only a passionate lover of the 


forest, and one who sought to represent Nature in a large way.

extends the other to Ariadne, to raise her from her reclining position. 
Ariadne here typifies the Spring just awakening to new life. Above

In the background, beyond the car, a range of mountains rising 
from the sea lift their blue peaks among the clouds.

Diana, while bathing in a secluded pool, attended by her nymphs,

young hunter Actzon, attended by his dog. One of the nymphs 
gathers up the drapery of the goddess and seeks to screen her, while 
another, in her fright, clings to the bank of the pool. ‘The whole com- 
position symbolizes the beauty of Summer, with the fulness of life 


in the open.

vale, Kurydice and her companion have been joyously gathering the 
flowers that summer has left behind, when she is stung by a serpent, 
which runs to cover in the shrubbery. Orpheus, approaching from 
the vale beyond, finds her as she falls in terror. The Greek myth is 
used here by the artist to sound the autumnal note of sadness over 
the vanished pleasures of summer and the soberer mood that comes 
with experience.
